ELEVEN

Ely turned eleven on Sunday, February 3rd! It is unbelievable how fast time goes. It almost feels unfair at moments but, we can't worry about that. We have to take what we get and enjoy every day.
So what does being eleven mean for Ely?
It means being in to music more than ever. (He recieved an Ihome for his ipod.)

It means becoming intrested in clothing and actually wanting to match. Has anyone noticed this kids crazy hair? I am hoping this is a phase that passes quickly. He doesn't want me to do anything with it.
It means having a deeper voice as his "man voice" (as Ely calls it) approaches.
It means finding who you are a bit, being able to put your self in others peoples shoes, and standing up for your friends when you know they are right.
It also means more responsibilites around the house and having more expected of you.
Eleven also means that mom and Philly are not as cool as they were before and we can actually be quit embarrassing at times.

Just posing for a pic. with my boys.

Here is to the 'year of eleven' and all of the fun it will bring!

Happy eleventh birthday Ely!

Love,

Mom
